Claudia is in her fifth year on the board and has lived in Evergreen Park for 23 years. Her free time is spent with her husband, Don, of 20 years, and their two daughters.
A former newspaper journalist and D124 Communications Director, Claudia is passionate about helping others share their inspirational stories, especially when they shine a light of hope on what could be a dark situation.
While the method of her storytelling has evolved from written to digital photography and video production, Claudia said storytelling is engrained in every fiber of her lifestyle.
When asked why she loves serving on the board she says:
"Serving on the school board has afforded me the opportunity to grow closer to my community. I have a great sense of pride knowing I am making a positive contribution in the lives of our students and staff. I care about their needs and I'm passionate about ensuring we as a school board are taking the necessary steps to fulfill them!"
Since she has been on the board, Claudia said there are several accomplishments she’s proud of, but one she noted was being invited to speak at the Triple I Conference in 2019 to help other school districts learn how to create a communications strategy for their district.
Claudia says she will continue to work tirelessly to do what’s in the best interest of our students.
Thank you, Claudia, for your dedication and hard work for our district!
